We have had to cancel August’s Community Cleanup but will see you next month!!!!

Join the Ghent Neighborhood League for a special meeting focused on the State of Ghent’s Green Spaces. We will gather with city leaders, local nonprofits, and community members to discuss the current conditions of our parks and public spaces—and what we can do to improve them. This is a crucial opportunity to address issues of maintenance, planning, funding, and long-term care for the green spaces that define the character and livability of Ghent and beyond.

Together, we’ll explore solutions that can elevate not just our neighborhood, but Norfolk as a whole. Your voice and ideas are essential—please join us and help shape a greener, healthier future for our community.
